This may well be the happiest story I've ever posted on LadiesLoveTaildraggers and it happens to be about my friend Nancy Warren, 84 years young.  Nancy is a pilot and truly remarkable woman who took her first flying lesson in her 50s. She's a former...
The numbers are in! It's been nearly TWO years since we've done an official count of  taildraggers the ladies fly and own. It's an elusive number to nail down since we're always buying and selling, renting and borrowing. Things are always a changing and I...

This has nothing to do with LLT but it's just plain Interesting .. and Beautiful too! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks Kristie Kirsch for forwarding. Astronauts voted on the top photographs taken by Hubble, in its 16-year journey so far. Remarking...
